Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"David Lannarck, Midget" by George S. Harney is an adventure story written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows David Lannarck, a circus midget who yearns for a more peaceful life away from the constant scrutiny and bullying he faces due to his size. After being saved from a dangerous encounter by a tall Westerner named Sam Welborn, David seizes the opportunity to escape the circus life and venture into the wide open spaces of the American West, where he hopes to carve out a new existence as a rancher. At the start of the story, set against the backdrop of a circus in Cheyenne during the Great Depression, readers are introduced to David's struggles with his size and the cruel attention it attracts. The opening sequence features a comical yet dangerous chase between David and a larger bully, showcasing his quick wit and resourcefulness. After the chaotic encounter, he befriends Sam Welborn, who proposes a partnership that involves caring for bear cubs and eventually moving to a quieter, ranching life. The events set in motion a series of adventures that will see the two men navigating the challenges and dangers of ranch life, alongside their pursuit of personal freedom and fulfillment.
